I use taskfaçade for now a long time .
I often thinked about graphics, they are a bit rude but taskfaçade keeps to be my favorite taskswitcher .
So I recently tried à setting, I put animation frames to zero . So exposing the running progams is fast and don't get lag like resizing effect . It's still not graphicly nice but I prefer .
but I was not plain satisfied and kept thinking about, how to have a fast exposé but with great visual; it appear a solution . instead of having à big resize by putting all the running programs thumbnails on the background, why don't just make them appear and keep active program displayed ? So animation can be smaller .
I made some pictures
so here is the desktop : (so you don't see running programs
here what you actually get after taskfaçade expose : the desktop go to background with running programs
And now :
Here is what I thinked about : desktop keep focus and running program appears (exactly same running apps as previous picure)
And nothing change to close item . push and hold .
you can close any item .
and keeps multiclose feature .
What do you think about ?!
I finaly googled a bit to find some "flash maker" to try (for my first time) to make a small video showing how différent could be the visual effect . I tried to keep it shorter as possible in order not to ask too much memory or processor work, but I'm not coder so I could be wrong in this approach .
Video is here : http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.php?c ... facade.swf
(you can open it on a separate window too see it borderless how it "really" appear) .
I made bouncing instead of resizing to background . I wanted make a smaller bounce but I didn't really success, sure cause it was first time I done flash animation; but, I think it's possible to get it smaller and great (or différent effect maybe) . I think that way could be interesting, the animation seems to be shorter than actual resize needed time no ?
